 * Hi,
 * If you have any PHP ability, or access to a developer who does, then you can 
   use the filter mentioned in 6 here to apply arbitrary exclude criteria: [https://updraftplus.com/faqs/how-can-i-exclude-particular-filesdirectories-from-the-backup/](https://updraftplus.com/faqs/how-can-i-exclude-particular-filesdirectories-from-the-backup/)

 * Actually I was forgetting; you can define this constant in your `wp-config.php`:
 * `defined('UPDRAFTPLUS_SKIP_FILE_OVER_SIZE', 512*1048576);`
